Our first guest, Tonika Lewis Johnson, is a photographer, social justice artist and life-long resident of Chicago's South Side neighborhood of Englewood. She is also co-founder of the Englewood Arts Collective and Resident Association of Greater Englewood, which seek to reframe the narrative of South Side communities, and mobilize people and resources for positive change. Tonika's art often explores urban segregation, documenting the nuance and richness of the Black community to counter media depictions of Chicago's violence. In 2017, she was recognized by Chicago Magazine as a Chicagoan of the Year for her photography of Englewood's everyday beauty. Her Englewood-based photography projects "From the INside," and "Everyday Rituals," were exhibited at Rootwork Gallery in Pilsen, the Chicago Cultural Center, the Harold Washington Library Center and at Loyola University's Museum of Art (LUMA). LUMA also exhibited her Folded Map project in 2018, which visually investigates disparities among “map twins”—Chicago residents who live on opposite ends of the same streets across the city's racial and economic divides—and brings them together to have a conversation. An excerpt of the project was also displayed at the Museum of Contemporary Art within The Long Dream exhibition.  In 2019, she was named one of Field Foundation's Leaders for a New Chicago. Most recently, Tonika was selected as the National Public Housing Museum's 2021 Artist as Instigator. Her newest project, Inequity for Sale,  highlights the living history of Greater Englewood homes sold on Land Sale Contracts in the 50s and 60s.

George Burciaga y Chicago United empoderan a la comunidad Tras destacarse como un exitoso empresario hispano, George Burciaga ahora disfruta de ser parte de la junta directiva de Chicago United, una influyente organización que busca empoderar a los emprendedores de minorías de la ciudad. “Como miembro de la junta directiva tengo la posibilidad de hacer un cambio al apoyar a otros latinos, a otros afroamericanos y a otros líderes empresariales de color. Chicago United me permite la oportunidad de apoyarlos. Es mi responsabilidad ayudar a otros”, dijo Burciaga, quien además se desempeña como tesorero de la organización. Para el también CEO y socio director de IGNITE CITIES, una firma de tecnología que asesora a alcaldes de numerosas ciudades, su rol le permite empoderar a la comunidad y devolver lo que recibió cuando era joven mientras crecía en hogar de escasos recursos en el vecindario de Pilsen. “Al mismo tiempo que Chicago United promueve a líderes de negocios de color, también promueve a líderes de negocios de color a su junta directiva. Yo soy un latino que es miembro de la junta directiva y tesorero, lo que es importante, porque reconocen la importancia de empoderar a latinos, afroamericanos, asiáticos y otras minorías”, expresó Burciaga. En 2017, el empresario de 45 años fue uno de los ganadores de los galardones “Business Leaders of Color”, que entrega anualmente la organización, un honor que asegura le dio un gran impulso a su carrera. “Chicago United está tomando una posición poderosa para enfocar y destacar a líderes de negocios de color. Estamos asegurándonos de que estos líderes de negocios de color sean reconocidos y que sean más visibles, para que puedan tener la posibilidad de crecer”, manifesto Burciaga. Estos emprendedores que se están empoderando generan empleos y de esta manera están apoyando a sus comunidades, agregó Burciaga. El impulso que Burciaga recibió con el galardón lo llevó a lanzar en 2018 IGNITE CITIES, una firma de consultoría global diseñada para apoyar a los alcaldes de todo el país con los problemas críticos que enfrentan las ciudades en la actualidad. “Estoy trabajando directamente con los alcaldes de Los Ángeles, Denver, Houston, Atlanta, Miami, entre otros grandes alcaldes, para desplegar nuevas tecnologías que les dé a todas nuestras comunidades de color que son vulnerables la posiblidad de que puedan competir, tecnología que les de poder, que tengan la oportunidad de poder recibir fondos para sobrevivir durante el Covid o bancha ancha para conectar a los estudiantes”, expresó el empresario, quien en 2016 venció su compañía de software, Elevate DIGITAL, a la corporación CIVIQ. Así, “de ser pobre en Pilsen y necesitado de ayuda, pasé a crecer a un lugar donde puedo devolver lo que recibí y apoyar a la ciudad, a la comunidad, a los alcaldes y al Chicago United”, agregó Burciaga. El jueves 18 de noviembre, Chicago United tendrá su “Bridge Awards Dinner” en el Hilton de Chicago, donde reconocerá a los 50 “Business Leaders of Color” de 2021.

This week I'm chatting with Levi Baer, who is the Director of Training for Chicago United for Equity, an organization committed to dismantling systemic racism through training and education. He is also the co-founder and Community Builder of Second Shift Chicago, an innovative coworking space. He is very passionate about diversity, equity and inclusion. Growing up on a farm taught him the value of community, connectedness, and hard work, which he still carries with him today. He shares insights he gained over the years about racial equity. One such insight is that people do not only want to be heard, but also have input in decision-making processes, especially when it directly affects them. Levi's hope is that organizations recognize that everyone has unique, powerful things to offer and seek to create a mosaic out of each diverse contribution instead of molding a homogenous workforce.

Kevin and Tim are back from the weekend with their analysis of the drubbing Atlanta United FC put on Minnesota United FC this past weekend. They also preview the Chicago United game and give some insights on their thoughts of the MLS as a whole thus far. Kevin and Tim are here to bring you a weekly look at their hometown MLS team - Atlanta United FC. They look to bring their insights on the previous game, how the team has been doing, and looking forward to their next game of the week. Home Before Dark hearkens back to a time when you and your friends in the neighborhood were forced inside. Where you discovered a level of brotherhood/sisterhood that could only be forged through playing video games, watching movies, television and discussing the finer things in life over an Orange Lavaburst Hi-C and Bagel Bites. We take the time out to talk about the current games we're playing, movies we've seen recently(new or old) and all the things in between. It's almost that time.  The streetlights just came on and you had better leave soon to be Home Before Dark.  Find the whole gang on twitter @timherb and @the_ARC1TECT and collectively @HomeB4Dark

HOUSE JET RADIO VOL.178 GUEST DJ: @GERALDO-ROMAN (CHICAGO, UNITED STATES) BIO: I have been mixing since the early 80's but put the breaks on it in the mid 90's. Over the past few years a number of old friends, family and music lovers asked if I would consider DJing again. Now almost 20 years later, I am back in the mix for my own leisure. Despite my busy schedule, I am finding time to share my passion for DJing. I never realized how much I missed being in the mix but its the love for the music that has brought me back. "I love to express myself through the music I play and It's a great privilege to share it with each and everyone of YOU! "GERALDO KICKIN ROMAN" A very special thank you to William Rodriquez, Luiz Fueggo, Harv Roman, my great friend, Robert Sepulveda, Peter Carriaga from the P.B. & J Mix Show and so many others for encouraging me to do it all over again.
